Submitted by Keith Foster. District School #6; Lot 15 Alma, (Lawrence Tract) Stone Dam/Redwater Creek School,Shown on 1926 Topography Map (Surveyed 1923, 1924 by E.D.Chamberlain); School not shown on 1869 Atlas Map, but, 1869 Dwellers: P. O’Brien, T. Moore, J. Lake, Mrs. Tormey, W. Murphy, J. Mullvey & A. Downs. The building is noted on the 1926 map located between properties of J. Lake & Mrs. Tormey. This school is mentioned by Hazel Shear in her "Alma Story", 1969, publication. I note that the 1856 Beechler Map of Allegany County, Alma has a schoolhouse noted just inside the Willing/Alma Line on the Alma side, 4-Mile Road, today's County Route 38, Lot 61 in the 1869 Atlas. This was the school known as the Carey Hill School.
